Yes, you can use sour cream in place of mayo.

Thank you! I hope you, your friends and family enjoy them.

Absolutely, you can substitute ricotta or goat cheese for the cream cheese in your recipe. Both will give a different flavor and texture but should work well. Using ricotta will make the filling a bit lighter and creamier, with a slightly grainier texture compared to cream cheese. You might want to adjust the amount of mayonnaise if the ricotta makes the mixture too runny. Goat cheese will add a tangy flavor and a creamy texture. It’s a bit softer and more spreadable than cream cheese, so you might need to use a little less mayonnaise to achieve the right consistency.

I’m glad you like the idea. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for commenting.

You can make the filling the day before, just be sure to store it in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

If you want to serve these as a hot appetizer, place the peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Preheat the oven and bake at 400°F for 5-7 minutes.

That sounds like a good addition. I think it would enhance the flavor and taste delicious!

Do you yhink adding a little garlic powder would alter the flavour too much?

I’m so glad you liked these! That’s the great thing about recipes, you can modify them according to what you want to include or leave out. Thanks for commenting.
